We will be offering another great Lenten book study this season. This new book by Dr. Tom Curran examines the Mass not merely as a ritual, but as an event, a point of contact where Jesus Christ approaches you to change your life. Chapter by chapter Dr. Curran accompanies you from the time you pull into the parking lot for Mass, until you walk out the doors after the final blessing, using examples and stories from everyday life that will move you deeply and at times make you laugh. By the end you will see with new eyes what is so familiar to you, and hear with new ears what you’ve heard over and over at Mass, and your response will never be the same.  A table will be located in the gathering area with books available for purchase within the next few weeks.

A Thanksgiving Blessing God, the source of every boon and blessing, who gives your people food in due season and an abundance of gifts without measure, listen to the humble prayer of your children who acknowledge with grateful hearts the generosity of your eternal love. May we be forever thankful for the rich favor you bestow on
us in your eternal providence. As you have blessed our forbears with great gifts, so you have blessed us in our day with a wealth beyond compare. Make us mindful that your goodness to us requires that we act with justice toward all and share the bounty that comes from your hand with those who hunger and are in need.
Amen.
